It Must be Hard for Obama to Sit Down with the Media's Lips Implanted Firmly on his Ass

Wednesday, September 9, 2009
I am watching some pre-coverage of Obama's speech tonight. Obama is taking over Primetime once again to speak to us on a non-urgent matter, health care. Much to the chagrin of the liberals, Fox is rebelling, showing "So you Think You Can Dance." Good for them, make some money. They will be showing the speech on Fox News though, which seems like a more appropriate venue anyway. Showing it on CSPAN seems like the most appropriate option while allowing people to chose other programming. Sadly, Obama is not happy unless he is on ALL the channels, so, per his request NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News will be covering the President pushing his plan on an increasingly unsure Congress. Their seats are on the line here and with angry constituants and an election coming up in a years time there is an air of reluctance to blatently ignore the people that congress represents, as well there should be. The media, of course, is running hype over the speech and 'The Great Leader' and Universal Health Care.

In addition to "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox, there are other alternatives during Obama's Speech:

  1. America's Next Top Model - CW
  2. Dog The Bounty Hunter - A&E
  3. Top Chef: Las Vegas - Bravo
  4. Lottery Changed My Life - TLC
So, if you like reality shows, you're all set. If not, watch the speech. It's about as far from reality as you can get.
